The owner's cabin is a particular highlight, spanning two decks and designed with an observation lounge, access to a private foredeck and a floating staircase that leads to an upper deck study. The yacht benefitted from a full interior refit after a change in ownership at the end of 2021.

Bouchon - 45.7m

Builder : Trinity Yachts Year : 2002 Designers : Trinity Yachts, Carol Williamson

Grateful is asking $15,900,000 with Fraser.

Let us introduce the five largest superyachts at this year’s event, led by Axioma. All are currently docked at the Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island, just off the McArthur Causeway en route to Miami Beach.

Bella Vita

SuperYacht Miami , a short ferry ride from the Miami Yacht Show in downtown Miami, was a refuge. Compared to the busier, motoryacht-intensive show on Herald Plaza, the superyacht display at Island Gardens Marina had a dozen large yachts, either for charter or sale, and a handful of brokers and crew ready to show them to visitors. We had a chance to tour six of the best at the show, both new launches and older yachts that have undergone refits, ranging from a 280-foot SilverYacht that resembles a sci-fi battleship to a 248-foot Lürssen with a classic exterior and interior. The range of types, considering the number at the show, was impressive. Here were our six favorites.

SilverYachts’ ‘Bold’—280 Feet

Photo superyacht Oceanco © Guillaume Plisson

Owners, brokers and other protectors of any superyacht collection tend to cringe when visitors pick a favorite, but my favorite superyacht among the ones we visited at Superyacht Miami was, far and above, Bold . We have written about the 280-footer built at the Silver yard in Australia several times, but there’s an extra thrill to stepping aboard and seeing the contrast between its gray battleship exterior and the interior’s vibrant colors and open spaces.

Launched last May, the Espen Oeino design is for charter but her owner, who also owns the shipyard, plans to spend much more time aboard her this year, as she travels around the world. The owner’s rep warned that any potential charterer will have to be “flexible” when trying to charter Bold , probably having to book closer to the requested dates, rather than months ahead, because the owner may himself want to use her.

This is the owner’s second SilverYacht, the first being Silver Fast. Bold couldn’t be more different. The explorer look includes a long, open aft deck with a helicopter landing pad, deck space for the yacht’s tenders and toys, and a hangar to protect the chopper on long voyages. The hangar doubles as a nightclub when the helicopter is away.

Bold ’s interior is a colorful contrast to the gray exterior. The main interior salon is bright and open, defined by its media wall and lounges and other décor that are the owner’s favorite royal blue. That blue is the common thread across other areas of the yacht. The salon opens into the award-winning winter garden, a large space with floor-to-ceiling windows that open or close with the push of a button. The design offers climate control and exceptional views of the water. It also seats 18 people for dinner.

The owner has a separate deck, with a master suite, private terraces and office and salon. Seven other en-suite staterooms provide accommodations for 14 more guests. On the top sundeck is a Jacuzzi with lounges and exceptional views of the water. The yacht’s minimal 9-foot draft allows it to get into waters that would be forbidden to other vessels that large.

Delta’s ‘Usher’—146 Feet

biggest yacht miami

The owner of Usher , launched by Delta Marine in 2007 and refitted in 2017, is a serial yachtsman. He owns eight other vessels that keeps in mint condition since purchasing them. One includes the 146-foot Feadship Harle , while the rest of the fleet is comprised of a Grand Banks trawler, Azimut S 72, 42-foot custom catamaran and others.

Usher ’s current owner purchased her from a gentleman with a casino empire. The 154-foot yacht was so eclectic that he decided to buy her on the spot. She has five cabins for up to 12 guests, with a charter crew of 11. There’s an elevator, gym, WiFi and multiple lounges, both in the main salon as well as the sun and bridge decks, but the true charm is the interior.

In the wrong hands, the Polynesian theme could’ve been a disaster, but Delta did a masterful job blending seven hardwoods, the patterned carpeting, vibrant, colored tiles and dozens of other materials. The inlays in the wood are intricate and the color schemes, sometimes matching bright red and dark browns, work.

With so many materials, Usher could’ve been a hot mess, but she is attractive in her own inimitable way. Probably the best example is the master suite, which has a rich wood interior and stained-glass skylight above the bed. Dual wooden sinks in the his-and-hers bathrooms, along with a hand-hammered copper bathtub, give a sense of the yacht’s obsession with details.

Among the eclectic details: The original owner also set up Usher so he could fish from a fighting chair on the transom, but these days, fishing takes place aboard the 35-foot Scout tender.

Lürssen’s ‘Bella Vita’—248 Feet

biggest yacht miami

The 248-foot Bella Vita (ex. Northern Star) by Lürssen Yachts has a navy hull and white superstructure, with spacious outdoor areas on five decks, including the upper sky deck, as well as a touch-and-go helipad. The yacht’s interior is as traditional as the exterior, with beige and off-white finishes on the wainscoting and furniture, along with surprises like a piano, jukebox and fireplace in the salons.

The impression is that of orderly, wide-open space, with an overriding sense of calm. The master suite, on the owner’s deck, has a semicircle of windows in front of the bed, providing an exceptional view of the water. Just out front is a private Jacuzzi. During our visit, it was raining, so the interior proved to be a sanctuary of sorts. The yacht’s gym, sauna, spa and common-area salons make a relaxing contrast to the exterior of the boat, which is devoted to water sports, with two tenders, diving equipment and other water toys. Bella Vita is a classy, sophisticated charter yacht.

Overmarine’s ‘Miss Moneypenny V’—164 Feet

MISS MONEYPENNY V 0000396

Miss Moneypenny V , built in 2012 and refitted in 2019, was named by John Staluppi. An owner who always names his yachts after Bond movies or characters, Miss Moneypenny ’s subsequent owner decided that the name did indeed fit the superyacht.

This 164-foot Overmarine is not only sleek but lightning fast for her size. Her top end of 38 knots is light speed for a yacht of her size, and even the cruise speed of 28 knots is impressive. The boat has four staterooms for nine guests, which sounds a bit small, but the owner-mandated gym and cinema could be turned into staterooms to push it to 12 guests.

Designer Stefano Righini’s exterior is sleek and fast, while interior designer Valentina Balducci used lots of wood in the open spaces. The bleached teak floors and limed-oak paneling provide nice contrast against the off-white furniture and décor. Its open layout on the main deck, from the rear doors to the sci-helm station, creates a large, spacious environment.

The boat’s exterior is where the Bond-worthy fun transpires, either forward on the long, massive foredeck with its sunbeds and wraparound lounges and tables, or up on the sky bridge, where the owner can drive the boat at the second helm. A go-fast superyacht is a rarity in today’s world of multi-deck, high-volume slowpokes, but it was refreshing to see Miss Moneypenny V in the superyacht section, looking like she was just ready to break out and race for the Bahamas. The boat isn’t for charter but is listed for sale at $15.5 million.

Turquoise’s ‘Quantum of Solace’—238 Feet

biggest yacht miami

The other Bond-themed boat in this group, Quantum of Solace , is a 238-foot motoryacht (previously named Honor ), the largest private yacht ever built in Turkey. Launched in May 2012 by Turquoise Yachts, H2 Yacht Design’s interior includes six cabins on the main deck, a full-beam master suite in the center of the bridge deck, with two balconies on either side. The main salon has a double-height atrium, that adds to the yacht’s spacious feeling. On the lower deck is a full-beamed spa, with gym, steam room and Jacuzzi. The yacht’s sundeck features a 15-foot-long pool with contra-flow swimming system. The yacht has a crew of 18.

Benetti’s ‘Mag III’—145 Feet

biggest yacht miami

Mag III , one of the earliest Benetti Vision launches, has two major differentiators from other yachts in the Vision series. Its zero-speed stabilizers limit rolling at anchor for a more pleasant experience, and the elevator, which runs from the lower to upper deck, are nice amenities on the 145-foot yacht. The owner had Mag III refitted in 2015, giving the interior fresh wood on the walls, furniture and other small details to restore the Bannenberg & Rowell appeal. The yacht will accommodate up to 12 guests in five staterooms, while the forward-facing master suite has its own private deck. The look is contemporary but classic, with many subtle browns in the woodwork and flooring, along with matching furniture and white, Italian marble. Like Miss Moneypenny V , Mag III is not for charter but is listed for sale at $10.7 million .

The most storied yacht in miami beach is now available for charter.

Haute Yachts , News

by Paige Mastrandrea

biggest yacht miami

If you live in Miami or Miami Beach, chances are you’ve seen the most storied and recognized yacht in the sea, UTOPIA IV sailing across the blue waters of Biscayne Bay. Owned by powerhouse couple  Loren and JR Ridinger, Co-Founders of Market America I SHOP.COM, the jaw-dropping 2018, 63 m / 206′9″ luxury motor yacht was built by Rossinavi.

Utopia IV

Since then, the beauty has played host to some of the greatest names in the entertainment world, as well as personal friends and business associates of the Ridingers, with guests ranging from Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez to Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, DJ Khaled , Fat Joe , Alejandro Sanz , Carmelo and Lala Anthony, Jamie Foxx and many others that have come to cruise aboard the pinnacle of luxury.

Due to the ongoing restrictions of the pandemic and an overall decline in air travel, the yachting industry has taken off this year.

“There is an interesting phenomenon going on with the yacht chartering industry during COVID times and why it works is appealing,” notes JR Ridinger. “Superyachts offer an amazing solution for affluent or successful individuals and families or business owners to quarantine or social distance in luxury. UTOPIA IV is equipped with a digital office, so you can stay connected from anywhere in your own bubble.”

Utopia IV

To provide the safest environment, the Utopia IV team requires that all crew and guests have a current COVID-19 negative test on file with the yacht prior to boarding in order to maintain a COVID-free “safety bubble.”

Utopia IV

Over the summer, UTOPIA IV was an in-demand charter by the top billionaire Wall Street titans who wanted to escape the mundane of their homes and safely quarantine at sea—with all the necessities and luxuries available to them throughout their time aboard.

Utopia IV

Recently, UTOPIA was reflagged as a United States vessel, honored by the United States Superyacht Association. Currently, the superyacht is available for charter, including sailing in the U.S., The Bahamas and throughout the Caribbean.

Utopia IV

UTOPIA IV is powered by 4 MTU engines of 2600 hp. Utopia IV’s maximum range is estimated at 3300 nautical miles. The motor yacht can accommodate 12 guests in 6 cabins, with a crew of 13. Amenities include a beach club, swimming pool, air conditioning, various toys, twin PWCs and all the technology one would expect on such an amazing yacht.

Utopia IV

For information on chartering UTOPIA IV, please reach out to  [email protected] . UTOPIA IV is based in Miami Beach.

Riding The Wave: Largest Yachts at 2022 Miami Boat Show

By Heather Collier

In just a matter of days, Miami will be at the centre of the world stage once again for its annual International Boat Show. After its cancellation due to the ongoing global health crisis, Informa Market have announced that the event will now lie in situ with the Miami Yacht Show.

2022 will see its first ever collaborative show, where visitors will have over 1,000 exhibitors and hundreds of exciting interactive experiences to choose from over the course of the five-day extravaganza. “We are thrilled to offer our guests the largest boating and yachting event in the world, right here in Miami where it all began over 80 years ago,” said Andrew Doole, President of U.S. Boat Shows for Informa Markets.

Historically, the Miami International Boat Show and Miami Yacht Show has continued to be a major marine event in Greater Miami and Miami Beach, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to South Florida and generating an estimated combined annual economic impact of $1.34 billion.

Hosted predominantly in the stunning Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach Convention Centre, the show is back and bigger than ever. If you want to explore the event in ultimate style, you’ll be able to indulge in a collection of experiential boating lifestyle activations, entertainment, innovative cuisine, special activity zones, and a marine accessory pavilion. Additional venues for the show in Miami Beach include Pride Park, across the street from the Convention Centre, as well as One Herald Plaza, Island Gardens Deep and Harbour Sea Isle Marina.

One of the main spectacles that cannot be missed is the world-renowned SuperYacht Miami which showcases the largest vessels on display at the show. Dedicated exclusively to the largest and most opulent yachts, Superyacht Miami provides an unparalleled luxury experience, providing each guest with the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the most luxurious world-class superyachts, including some exciting debuts from around the globe.

Some of the superyachts attending are Damen Yachting’s 55M Gene Chaser, 55M Gene Machine and IYC’S 50M Thunder. 

Gene Chaser and Gene Machine

Gene Chaser and Gene Machine, dubbed the “floating laboratories”, were revealed to have been built specifically for specialist scientists to undergo ground-breaking research. As Dr Jonathan Rothberg puts it, “to feed, fuel, and heal the world.”

It’s easy to spot Gene Chaser   with its signature axe bow, large open deck and eye-catching symbols that mirror the nameplate on the side of Gene Machine. With their custom fleet colours, both vessels boast a stunning combination of design, technology, and science, and ultimately a huge milestone for Damen’s portfolio.

IYC’s Thunder more than lives up to its name. This impressive jet-powered superyacht built in Australia by Oceanfast was commissioned by iconic Italian designer Robert Cavalli and refuses to shy away from flamboyance.  “She’s now in amazing condition and ready for her next adventures,” says Mark Elliott, broker with IYC which has just listed her for sale at $8.8 million. With a surreal Alice in Wonderland interior, each guest will feel as mad as a hatter as they teeter on the edge of fantasy.

Cloud Yachts' NFT Superyachts

But that’s not all – this year’s show continues to welcome new twists and turns as Cloud Yachts has announced it is releasing a collection of NFT yachts exclusively for the show. Cloud Yachts, a digital yacht dealer, has joined forces with the world’s top superyacht designers to release NFT art collections. Contributing designers include Bannenberg & Rowell, Gregory C. Marshall, David Weiss, and Marco Casali.

Zach Mandelstein first founded Cloud Yachts in the heart of Silicon Valley and has been recognised as the first ever digital yacht dealer in the metaverse. Cloud Yachts will be releasing a limited series of 125 of NFTs which are expected to be rapidly snatched off the market.

NFT (non-fungible tokens) art, contain individual digital identifiers that cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided; an NFT is recorded on a blockchain, which is used to certify the authenticity and ownership of a specific digital asset. In terms of character, each yacht is guaranteed to unlike any other in the world.

With Burgess’ recent sale of their 40.2M Benetti motor yacht ORYX, bought entirely using BitPay, it comes as no surprise that cryptocurrency and new technology are barging their way to the forefront and beginning to transform the future of the yachting industry.

After partnering with premium brands, owners of Cloud Yachts NFTs will be pleased to know that they will receive VIP access to exclusive events in the superyacht community including yacht shows, super yacht parties and other world-class benefits that ordinarily would not be possible without making such a purchase.

Additionally, a 63M new-build project will also be available for purchase as an NFT. Award-winning naval architect Gregory Marshall is pioneering the project, making it the first NFT superyacht priced at around 95 million USD or 30,148 ETH. Each client will be able to customise their superyacht to their own desires in the metaverse using the first-of-its-kind augmented reality technology.

Informa Market has proven its aims to capture a balance of opulence and grandiosity, whilst also demonstrating the monumental scientific and humanitarian projects that can be achieved onboard the likes of Gene Chaser and Gene Machine, along with ground-breaking new technologies that are reshaping the future of deals and partnerships.

If one thing is for certain, Miami is committed to evolving with the times.

The 2022 Miami International Boat Show will take place between the 16th and 20th of February. We look forward to its unveiling.

"“We are thrilled to offer our guests the largest boating and yachting event in the world, right here in Miami where it all began over 80 years ago.”" Andrew Doole, President of U.S. Boat Shows for Informa Markets.

Meet Victorious, the Largest Yacht in Miami

' src=

If you’re in Miami, you may want to take a look at Victorious , at 278 feet and 11 inches long the largest boat in the boat show there. It’s over at the superyacht show on Watson Island, where tickets go for $135, but it takes up so much waterfront you can see it easily from Miami.

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it, but Victorious is for sale for $129 million. (It’s been on the charter market for $950,000 a week.)

Even as one of the world’s largest superyacht, Victorious is a bit over the top. It has a helipad on the foredeck that doubles as a dance floor, three swimming pools, an owner’s suite on the bridge deck with its own Jacuzzi and sun lounges, a gym, wellness center, wine cellar, two wood-burning fireplaces, a beauty salon, several bars, a beach club, and a small armada of tenders that includes a custom 41-foot aluminum cat and a 38-foot Fountain.

The accommodations include room for 24 guests in 12 staterooms, but the best room in the house seems to be the sky lounge up top, an observation lounge with wraparound views, a baby grand piano, a formal dining room and a smaller lounge with a bar.

All this is powered by twin 1,475-hp Cats, delivering a top speed of 17 knots. The yacht has an amazing range of 14,000 nm at 13 knots (fuel capacity: 69,847 gallons).

And Victorious comes with an unusual back story. It started out at Marco Yachts in Chile under the name Gin Tonic II , but the owner ran out of money. Graeme Hunt bought it unfinished and had it towed to New Zealand. Then Vural Ak, a Turkish entrepreneur who owns the racetrack for the Turkish Formula 1 Grand Prix, bought it half completed from Hunt in 2016 and had it towed to Turkey. The Turkish yard Akyacht finally launched it in 2021; it won the prize for Motor Yacht Over 80 Meters at The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2022.

MSC Cruise's Newest Ship Will Offer Largest and Latest MSC Yacht Club

M SC Cruises is launching its largest and most luxurious ship in April 2025 complete with the cruise line's most expansive onboard MSC Yacht Club.

The ship, MSC World America, (which will have its naming ceremony in Miami on April 9 ) features re-imagined venues and concepts created specifically with the U.S. market in mind, as well as seven unique districts for guests to explore.

And in its latest announcement today, the cruise line revealed that among the ship’s seven districts is the MSC Yacht Club. This exclusive area will provide a secluded sanctuary available to guests who stay in one of MSC World America’s 152 luxe suites.

Yacht Club guests on MSC World America will also have access to Ocean House at Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, an island retreat experience that has also been designed to provide elevated vacationing. The getaway, located in the Bahamas, features a private beach and restaurant and personalized service for guests.

The upper deck is a private area for lounging by the pool, taking a dip in the whirlpool or unwinding in a private cabana.

In addition, for the first time, MSC Yacht Club guests aboard MSC World America will be able to table service from the nearby bar and grill throughout the full sundeck area

Boat that fatally struck a 15-year-old girl in Florida has been found, officials say

  • Copy Link copied

MIAMI (AP) — Investigators believe they’ve found the boat that fatally struck a 15-year-old girl off a South Florida beach, officials said Tuesday.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation and other law enforcement agencies had been searching for the vessel since Saturday, when Ella Adler was killed and the boat operator fled without stopping.

“The boat is in our custody, and the owner is cooperating,” FWC officer George Reynaud said in a video on Facebook.

Officials didn’t immediately say where the boat was found or how it was located. It also wasn’t clear whether the owner of the boat was the person who was operating it when the girl was hit.

Adler was water-skiing near Key Biscayne, just south of Miami, on Saturday afternoon when she fell into the water and was hit by another boat, which immediately sped away, officials said. Witnesses described the hit-and-run craft as a center console boat with a light blue hull, multiple white outboard engines and blue bottom paint.

A funeral service for Adler was held Monday morning at Temple Beth Sholom in Miami Beach. Adler was a freshman at Ransom Everglades School in Coconut Grove and a ballerina with the Miami City Ballet.

A total reward of up to $20,000 was being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

The young girl who was waterskiing when she was struck and killed by a large fishing boat that fled the scene in Biscayne Bay Saturday afternoon has been identified.

The young girl was identified as 15-year-old Ella Riley Adler , who was a student and an accomplished ballet performer, Ransom Everglades Head of School Rachel Rodriguez said Monday.

"Our hearts are broken and our community has been devastated by this tragedy," Rodriguez said in a statement. "Ella shined in our classrooms and on our stages, and she embodied the mission of Ransom Everglades School. She was an outstanding student, a wonderful dancer and an active member of the Jewish Student Association and speech and debate team. We extend our deepest sympathy to her family and our prayers are with all who are mourning her loss. In this time of unspeakable pain, we have been moved by the outpouring of kindness and compassion from the Ransom Everglades community. In the coming days and weeks, we will continue to lean into our core values and provide support and care to the many students and members of our professional community who are grieving."

A funeral service held Monday at Temple Beth Shalom for Adler, who was on the dance team at Ransom Everglades.

“Special little girl. She was a great dancer. She was my daughter’s best friend. It’s a tremendous loss. She had such a bright future. Very sad, very sad," family friend Loren Pierson said.

It was standing room only as family and friends gathered to remember the life of Adler. Among them was Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, who knows the family.

"This is a young woman who had so much compassion for the world and was such a role model for so many at the age of 15. Our whole community is grieving," Levine Cava said.

Grief counselors were also on hand at Ransom Everglades on Monday.

"It’s really sad to hear. I heard she was a really nice girl and was on the dance team and had a lot of friends. I can’t imagine the pain they’re going through," student Miles Gelber said.

The boating incident happened near Nixon Beach in Miami-Dade County around 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Adler had been waterskiing before she was struck by a vessel that left the scene, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials said.

On the condition of anonymity, NBC6 spoke to a witness who offered a firsthand account of the tragic incident.

The witness also provided NBC6 a photo of the immediate aftermath , which captured what appeared to be gray yacht next to a police boat. The witness said Adler had been waterskiing from the gray yacht.

According to the witness, the girl was in the water when she was struck by a large center console fishing boat. They said boat that hit her did not appear to swerve or slow down. Following the collision, the witness said they heard distress signals and screams over the radio coming from the yacht.

Officials also said the vessel that fatally hit her was described as a light blue center console, possibly with blue or dark blue bottom paint and three or four white outboard engines. It was last seen heading westbound from Nixon Beach in Key Biscayne.

FWC officials also confirmed to NBC6 on Sunday that the girl was not actively waterskiing when she was hit.

"She was just in the water with the board attached to her feet and wearing a life jacket," an FWC spokesperson said.

The witness described the yacht as urgently blaring its horn while circling back to the girl.

An obituary posted on Legacy.com said Adler had appeared as a ballerina in the Nutcracker, appearing in over 100 performances with the Miami City Ballet at the Adrienne Arsht Center.

"She loved her friends deeply. She had a big posse of friends, both from Blue Star Camps and school, but Ella had a way of making each of her friends feel special," the obituary read. "She was loyal. She was compassionate. She always believed in speaking up for what was right and she always spoke her mind, but with warmth and grace."

The Miami City Ballet also released a statement on the teen's death.

"We at Miami City Ballet and the Miami City Ballet School are utterly devastated by the heartbreaking news of this tragic accident. Ella Adler was not just a beloved student and a magnificent dancer who graced our stage in  George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker ; she was an integral part of our family, radiating potential and promise whose kindness, warmth, and infectious joy were known to all," the statement read. "Our hearts go out to Ella’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and adoring her. As we come together, we will profoundly grieve the loss of Ella, and hold dear the precious memories we were fortunate enough to create with her."

In a statement Monday, FWC officials said they were making "significant progress" in their investigation.

The FWC is continuing its search for the boat and said a reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest or aiding the investigation.

Anyone with information on this incident is urged to call the FWC’s hotline at 888-404-3922.

Boat found in connection with hit-and-run that killed Florida teen: Authorities

Ella Adler, 15, was killed while wakeboarding in the Miami area, FWC said.

ABCNews logo

MIAMI -- Authorities in Florida said they have found the boat connected to a hit-and-run that killed a teenager wakeboarding in the Miami area over the weekend.

Ella Adler, 15, was struck by a boat while wakeboarding near Nixon Beach in Key Biscayne Saturday afternoon, Officer George Reynaud, a spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, told ABC News.

The victim -- 15-year-old Ella Adler of Miami Beach -- fell in the water while being towed when another vessel struck her on Saturday, authorities say

The teen had fallen in the water while being towed about a mile from shore and was waiting to be recovered by her boat when another vessel fatally struck her, Reynaud said. The boat that struck the teen did not stop, FWC said.

Following a dayslong search, FWC said Tuesday it has a boat matching the description given by witnesses of the striking vessel in their custody. The boat's owner is cooperating with the investigation, FWC said.

FWC had called in additional resources and "worked around the clock" to find the vessel, FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto said Tuesday.

"As a father and grandfather, my heart is broken for the Adler family," Barreto said in a statement. "Ella's death is devastating for her family, friends and the community at large. The FWC and our partner law enforcement agencies will not stop until we have all the answers and the case is solved."

The investigation remains ongoing. FWC called for anyone with information or footage to contact them.

The vessel being sought in connection with the incident was described as a center console boat with a light blue hull , possibly blue or dark blue bottom paint and multiple white outboard engines, FWC said. It was believed to be 30 to 40 feet in length, Reynaud.
